My hobby is walking and most weekends I go for a
12-15 mile walk, usually in the Chiltern
Hills where I live. I then add a description of the walk to the Walks Diary page of this web site,
complete with photographs and a map of the route (courtesy of Google
Maps). I have also walked a number of long-distance
paths in the northern Home Counties of southern England, walks
such as the Chiltern
Way, the Hertfordshire
Way and the Greensand
Ridge Walk - I have usually done these as a series of day walks. I
have also done one or two long-distance paths a bit further afield, such
as the Cumbria Way
and A Dales Walk,
which I have walked end-to-end on successive days. I have also created
an unofficial long-distance path of my own, the Chiltern
Chain Walk. There is also a very small section of walks in the Lake District. I also have a collection
of mainly nature photographs, many
of which I've taken on my walks (my walk descriptions also contain links
to these photos). There are also a number of my favourite landscape
photos from my walks.

If you have any comments or suggestions about this
site, you can email me via the 'Contact
me' link at the top of this page. Or you can add a message in my 'Guestbook'
- again the link is at the top of this page. You might want to read the
'About my journals' page before
looking at the long-distance paths
section - it gives some background and has some notes on navigating
through the journals (although that should be self-explanatory). You can
also read 'About Me' and 'About
my walks', if you are curious.

I am not sponsored on my walks, but if
you enjoy visiting this site I would be very grateful if you would
please consider making a donation to the Huntington's
Disease Association (to make an online donation, click on the
donations link at the bottom of their home page). I have chosen to
support this particular charity because the family of one of my closest
friends is afflicted with this incurable and hereditary disease. Thank
you very much.
